SEE SERVICES

Hi, I'm Chris.

(he/him)

I am podcast creator living in Salem, MA. I've written and/or produced shows such as Disgraceland, Boston Venue: The Channel Story, MIT's Great Communicators Podcast and more. I'm also the co-creator, writer and voice of Joe the Bartender on the sci-fi/comedy audio drama Jupiter Saloon, which will launch its first full season in late 2021.

In 2018, I co-founded Podcation, a company that has brought writers, producers, and performers from all over the world together for audio creation events. 

Beyond that, I'm a poet, musician, and arts & culture writer. 

I'm interested in making high-quality, optimistic, often-humorous work and have a demonstrated commitment to building diverse and inclusive teams with many kinds of voices. Whether it is for a single session or a year-long collaboration, I design safe and compassionate cultures for my projects.
